D's prior convictions for PC §273.5 intimate partner battering were crimes of moral turpitude and properly admitted for impeachment purposes.

Evidence insufficient to support corporal injury to a cohabitant counts where there was no evidence incidents caused a "traumatic condition" to V.

Where V's injury doesn't result from direct physical contact by D, Pen. Code §273.5 [willful infliction of corporal injury on co-habitant] not violated.

Inflicting corporal injury on cohabitant or spouse is crime of moral turpitude for purposes of impeachment.
